SOROKOUSTY: LENTEN REMEMBRANCE OF

We will celebrate the prayer services for the deceased - Sorokousty - on Saturday, February 7, February 28, March 7, March 14 and May 23 following the 8:30 a.m. Divine Liturgy. Those who had their beloved deceased remembered in this service last year can find their Sorokousty booklets arranged alphabetically on a table in the lower level of church. Please pick up your book, update the list of deceased, if necessary, and return the book with the customary $10 offering, place them in an envelope, and place in the collection basket. All books should be returned as soon as possible. If you need a new book, they are available in The Mosaic.

BLESSING OF HOMES
Blessing of homes of parishioners is continuing. In your box of 2015 collection envelopes is a card for you to fill out if you wish to have your home blessed this year. Kindly fill this card out and drop it in the collection basket when you come to church on January 3 or 4. It is the desire and wish of Fr. Phil and the clergy to visit as many parishioners for house blessings as possible.

When the priest comes to your home, you should receive him in this way:
Have a small table covered with a white cloth and place a candle (preferably blessed), a cross and the objects you would like blessed upon it. At the priest’s
arrival, shut off the TV, radio, etc. and light the candle, the symbol of our prayer to Christ, “the light of the world.” Pets are also welcome.

The priest will pray for God’s blessings upon your household, and then one of the family should, with lighted candle, lead the priest through the house opening the doors of those rooms you wish to be blessed.

Completing the blessing, the priest greets each member with “Christ is Born” (Chrystos Razhdayetsia) while each member kisses the cross Father holds out and answers, “Let us glorify Him” (Slavite Yoho). It is the wish of Fr. Philip and Fr. Ilie to visit as many Parishioners for House Blessings as possible.
